Today's Pictures

Ella is our guest this week so I thought I might tell you a little bit about her time with us , starting with the four pictures above.
We no sooner got into the store than Ella got out of the basket and took off. That cart doesn't go fast and by the time I found here she was sitting on a cake and trying to open another one(Picture one). I scolded her and put her back in the cart but while I was looking for a dress for her she was off again. This time I found her with the television sets and some new friends ( picture two). They were not happy when I made her get back in the cart. On the way back to the dresses she reached out and grabbed a pair of sun glasses (picture three). I put them back , of course. But while I was doing that she was gone again. This time it took me a long time to find her . She was sitting in an apple bin with little pieces of apple on her coat.(Picture four) . The top bin was almost empty and I hoped she had eaten them.
Then Betty came and between us we held onto her.
Ella and my grand elephant are getting along very well. She has such stories to tell.
She says that in Las Vegas she sat in a tiger cage with a live tiger. She was sure she was going to be eaten. I don't know if that's true or not.
She says that she was born without a trumpter gland and so her parents threw her out but this wonderful lady named Melli took her in. What mean parents.
You should hear the stories she tells about Hawaii and Texas. I can't believe they let her do all of that. I think she lies a little.
We'll keep you informed with Ella pictures every day until she leaves.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Old Mrs. Pemberthy says that three of her chickens are missing. She only had twelve and three are gone. They are just gone. There is no blood, no feathers, nothing to indicate they were attacked. They couldn’t fly over the fence but they are gone. She called the Constable.
His problem is deciding if three chickens and six cows is enough to call in the state police. Now if three more cows were gone he would have to call them but chickens aren’t cows. He went over the crime scene himself. The fence had not been cut and there was no sign of a struggle . He is even more confused than he was before.
The good news is that Jon Bergall’s cows have a tracking chip in their ear. They came that way. Jon doesn’t have the equipment to track them but the Constable has ordered a tracking device sent in. It should come sometime today.
Peterovich is hard at work on translating the next driblet. It might be ready tomorrow.
Nancy Silo called the Bishop to tell him that Pastor Joan was not being a good steward of the congregations resources . She was leaving the evil bats stay in the belfry. When the Bishop tried to reason with her she accused him of always taking the pastor’s side. It isn’t easy being a Lutheran Bishop.

Wrap UP

For a day that started with snow falling it hasn't been too bad. I visited every one of my blog friends and left comments on the entries I hadn't already commented on. Now I need a breathing treatment.
